I couldn't imagine anyone being so passionate about defending such a polluted organization
We can agree to disagree.
There aren't many organizations where I would offer blind trust to those who receive the highest honor (eagle scout). The US army agrees, as eagle scouts get paid more for the sole purpose of achieving eagle.
Changes last year now allow girls that same opportunity (not an easier opportunity, they have to earn it just like the boys).

Maybe. But I am not so hung up on being right that I would lie, misinterpret facts, and spread fake news.
Cheers
(When is this board going to get an ignore feature?)

I'm spreading fake news.
From the Tiger Cub youth protection pamphlet:
and...
Great idea. Let's pollute children because there is no way we can control the adults we allow into the organization.
The forest or the trees. You obviously already picked. So did I, and I choose NOT to "normalize" myself or my kids for the intentional trends of declining societal morality.
Reminds me a little bit of Aleister Crowley's 'brilliance'..."Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law".
An ignore feature on TD. That's funny too. You don't need an ignore feature to ignore what has happened to the BSA.

From the Tiger Cub youth protection pamphlet:
quote:
Tell your child that your permission is required before he or she may accept an invitation from a Scout leader or another parent to an activity outside of Scouting and that all such invitations must be reported to you. The BSA recommends that parents insist that two adults are present (two-deep leadership) when authorizing non-Scouting activities for their children.

“What if something happens on a camping trip (or at a neighbor’s house, or at a friend’s house) that makes you feel afraid or confused?” I could talk to my pack leader about it right away. He said we could talk to him about anything that made us feel unsafe. When I get home, I would tell a parent what happened. “What if someone is making you feel unsafe, and the first person you tell can’t help you?” I would tell one of my other trusted grown-ups until I find one who can help. “What if one of your trusted adults is making you feel unsafe or uncomfortable?” I am allowed to say NO to any adult who makes me feel afraid, confused, or unsafe. I would say NO and then contact one of the other adults on my list to get help.
